12700Ks are getting so cheap, think I might just buy a DDR4 motherboard and go for it.

I just picked up a 12700k and MSI Force z690, think I may stuff it in an o11 air mini white.

I've heard nothing but bad things when people need to interact with antonline. Would not be surprised to find out Comcast bought them out at some point.

Yeah, I had a DOA CPU when I ordered my 5900x from Antonline. I contact them about it and their response is, "Talk to AMD". Bitch, isn't that YOUR fucking job? Send me a new fucking CPU and RMA the one I send back. I had to go through the hassle of RMAing with AMD (it's a fucking PITA). For all I know they sent me the goddamn CPU on purpose to clear out bad inventory. I'll never use Antonline again.

For CPU and mo-bo and other shit while im there I have been going to micro center since like early 2Ks. Best CPU prices (they sell below cost to get you there) they always have what I want in stock and some good help there when I want it. Place is always packed too. Its like a zoo no matter when I go. Its about 45-1hr away from where I live but its not too bad.

I only found the place one day when I worked literally across the street from one. I was bored at lunch one day and visited. Been a fan ever since.

And my reply.
Like literally an hour after thinking about it I said yes, just checking that it fit my case.... No word that you would want an immediate answer or anything. Classy



‐----------------

Like are you fucking kidding me. Not like i dragged my feet, i had a yes but for checking for fitment in 30 minutes actually. No request for an immediate answer or anything.

Fucking craigslist level faggotry. No wonder new york sucks.

I love all the stories people regale about Microcenter, and I'm over here on the West coast just scowling. :(

We used to have Fry's Electronics which was very similar back in its Prime, but they all closed.

Says you only had to check to make sure it fit, yet literally right in your picture is your post saying you have to think a little, and gave no indication that you would actually say yes.

How was he supposed to know you'd only think about it for 30 minutes?
How did i know he expected an instant reply. No heads up he would immediately move on, when in the first place he was acting hat in hand apologetic for the price etc ring to do a solid. 30 minutes is a blink of an eye on forum time on a work day. A normal functioning adult would say hey, i need an immediate answer or moving on.

Maybe a bit different if this was facebook market, but it's on the forum which is a little different space.

Valid points and I think there is a lack of details shared from both ends. There's no way that the card wouldn't sell, no matter how long he waited on you. As shown, he could have waited days for your response, and if you said no, sold it immediately to someone else. There was no downside to waiting, and it's a stupid move to move on so quickly.

Right, and even a full 24 hours would make sone sense. Just was never any advertised urgency. Wouldn't expect it from an ebay seller, but it wasn't done live auction for max profit. Even at 30 minutes i doubt money was exchanged and shit in the mail.

This is also coming from me sending and receiving a few times on the forum, so usually expecting a little more sense of e- community.

If you were a Lord of Gold he probably would've extended you the "Golden Courtesy", as we like to call it. Since you're not even a bronze plebe, well...YGWYFD.

I've donated before, thought it was a perma sub gold but who knows.

Doesn't seem to exist outside of final fantasy thread, so i guess the ability to articulate socially was just naturally absent.

Oooof. Never trust a weeb, bro. People who unironically play that game and think it's "great" are total degenerates.
